Hello, I'm Alex Bell. Today on Business Daily, we meet Dr. Natalie Kenny, scientist and founder of the British company, Biograd. Dr. Kenny's story is a truly inspiring one, from growing up in a working class part of Northern England to fighting tropical disease in South America and how she bounced back

from losing everything to starting a multi-million dollar business.

I walked into Liverpool Science Park in clothes I borrowed from somebody from a friend and I took out

a lease on a lab. I didn't know what I was going to do with this lab, but I took out a lease

in a lab because I thought, what else have I got to lose?

We spoke all about her time working for big farmer, the sexism she's faced in the industry,

and teaching the next generation of scientists what it takes to succeed.

The lesson I learned was, you will fail every day until one day when you don't fail.

I sat down with Dr. Kenny at her headquarters on Merseyside in the UK where she told me it all

began with a movie. When I was a kid, I don't know if you've ever seen the film,

Medicine Man, where a Sean Connery goes and lives in the middle of the Amazon

jungle and he lives with a tribe.

A man determined to make a difference.

I found a cure for the plague of the 20th century and now I've lost.

This is the cure for cancer.

I know.

When I was a little girl, I was like, that's it, mum, that's it, that's what I want to be.

It was a slightly odd thing, I guess, to say.

And my mum was like, you know, Natalie, you should be a hairdresser or you should go into sort of

careers that we could see. My mum trained as a nurse when I was 14. So she'd always been,

she'd been a stay-at-home mom, she'd been an auxiliary nurse, she worked nights, she worked really hard when we were younger.

And I guess during the 80s recession, it was really, really difficult, especially in the North West.
